They are the business. So accurate and deadly.

They seem pretty good but I do have the 77gr shooting better, I was just out shooting rabbits and possums to use the last of my 69gr up and had just shot a possum when the 2 deer came running across the field heading for the cover of trees.

If I hadn't knocked the first one over on the run I wouldn't have got either animal.
Because I only ever had a part box of around 70 I never had a chance to put serious time into developing a tight accurate load hence why I was using them up so I could re-use my new Lapua brass.

The 69gr obviously do work well on deer going by Friday nights performance however I still like the 62gr Hornady SP's
